Scratch Orchestra

The Canterbury Scratch Orchestra is a student collective interested in an open approach to improvising music.

The Orchestra’s previous performances have involved responding to drawings, working with film-makers and poets and collaborating with a diverse collection of musicians including singer-song writers, Indian classical musicians and laptop artists.

The ensemble’s work centres around people and play and at its heart lays John Steven’s belief that music-making involves ‘practising an alternate society’.
